Behavioral Health Sales NurseThe Role: Behavioral Health Sales NurseThis is a relationship-first role built for nurses who are ready to take their clinical expertise beyond the bedside. You do not need to be a seasoned sales professional. What you do need is a genuine passion for behavioral health and psychiatric care, the confidence to walk into a room and build trust quickly, and the heart to advocate for patients and facilities who need our services most.
We will provide full training and ongoing support to set you up for success from day one.
Key Responsibilities- SNF and LTC Partnership Development: Build meaningful relationships with skilled nursing facility administrators, directors of nursing, and regional leaders to introduce and grow Skilled Physicians Group's behavioral health model
- Clinical Conversations: Use your nursing background to speak confidently about psychiatric outcomes, psychotropic medication management, and the clinical and financial value our behavioral health services bring to SNF and LTC partners
- Territory Development: Identify high-potential skilled nursing and long-term care facilities in your region and thoughtfully prioritize outreach based on behavioral health need and partnership fit
- Relationship Management: Nurture long-term relationships with facility partners built on trust, clinical credibility, and consistent follow-through
- Operational Collaboration: Work closely with our psychiatric physician and PMHNP team to ensure a smooth transition from new partnership to active behavioral health service
- Performance Goals: Work toward clearly defined goals with the full support of our training and leadership team behind you every step of the way
What We Are Looking ForWe are not looking for a traditional salesperson. We are looking for a clinically grounded professional with the heart of a caregiver and the courage to step into a new challenge.
- Clinical Background: Active or former RN, LPN, or psychiatric nurse with experience in behavioral health, skilled nursing, long-term care, or post-acute settings

- Growth Mindset: An eagerness to learn, grow, and develop new skills - we will provide the sales training and tools you need to succeed
- Travel Readiness: Willingness to travel within your region 4 to 5 days per week to build and nurture new partnerships
